In expressing left wing views, as I have been doing... does that make me "listing" to port??

Government: Yes, you have to go get stickers. I hear the DNR office is open today.
Me: But I already have them!
Government: Well give us a few months to think about it.

I can’t really see this happening in the USA or Canada on a routine basis. Apparently the last couple presidents of Mexico were sailors and wanted people to come to Mexico by boat. Apparently “not so much” for the new guy.

I agree Joe.

That's the point I tried to make about the difference in skill levels between U.S./Canada vs. Mexico government employees. I see this action and think they're still in their apprenticing stage. Heavy handed and awkward, yes. Different in principle to our agencies, no. If this same Mexican action happened to a dozen people/boats each month and though many marinas we wouldn't even hear about it... amateurs!

Give them a few years and I expect they will become almost as skilled as our agencies :)

If the IRS is after you, you can prove you didn’t do it and get your boat back. Apparently the Mexican IRS has *no f-ing idea* how to undo the mess they made. You can prove you have the correct papers all day long and they won’t let you go. Also note the penalty under Mexican law for not having the papers is you have 10 days to go get them.

From a cynic's perspective, let me express the opinion that Canadian & American tax collection people do similar things to people ALL THE TIME. I.E.: the withholding of funds or seizure of property until you comply. In the same heavy handed way that the Mexicans have done. The big difference between to the two (and indicates a higher level of skill) is that "our" agencies target individuals, not groups.

Didn't we just have a conversation with Steve about this?

Damn! Now I'm on somebody's list.
